Even if Netanyahu and his right-wing allies are ousted from government, Israel’s genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, and the wars against Lebanon and Iran enjoy broad support across the Israeli political spectrum.

I called my friend in Gaza to wish him a happy Eid. He sent me a voice recording of the sound of drones.

My lecture at the American Psychiatric Association’s annual meeting on trauma in Gaza was canceled after a pressure campaign by pro-Israel groups. Health professionals must be able to speak about Palestinian suffering without fear of punishment.

On this day 26 years ago, residents of South Lebanon poured into the streets as Israeli forces withdrew, putting an end to 22 years of Israeli occupation. Today, those same villages lie in rubble, and the occupation is back.

Israel now controls 65% of Gaza and is moving to annex Palestinian historical sites, Jerusalem properties, and Bedouin communities in the West Bank. In the U.S., the DNC buried Gaza from its 2024 autopsy, and AIPAC faces its first major electoral loss in years.

Gaza was the first AI war of the 21st century, and if Global Trumpism succeeds, it will become a testing ground for its vision to dominate the future: Pax Silica, or the merger of the high-tech military-surveillance complex and transnational finance.

Itamar Ben-Gvir has been attacked across Israeli politics for a cruel video showing him mocking flotilla activists as they were being abused by officers. His offense was not his fascist celebration, but rather showing the true face of Israel.

Political and economic realities are pushing Donald Trump to pursue a deal with Iran, but he will need to resist mounting pressure, including from Israel, to return to all-out war.

The DNC finally released its long-awaited autopsy of Kamala Harris’s failed presidential campaign, and it doesn’t mention Gaza. The Democratic leadership’s refusal to acknowledge the party’s shift on Israel could spell another defeat in 2028.

The Israeli Knesset is considering a bill that would place Palestinian historical sites in the West Bank under direct Israeli civil law, stripping them of their protected status under international law. Experts say it’s annexation in all but name.

AIPAC says that being pro-Israel is good politics. But if that is true, why do they have to spend so much money on elections?

Germany’s unconditional support for Israel has been an easy way to avoid examining our brutal past. The colossal weight of the ongoing genocide in Gaza is crushing our facile myths and forcing us to re-examine our historical dogma.

Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies in Congress have begun calling for an end to U.S. aid to Israel, but this won’t end the “special relationship” between the two countries. In fact, recent signs suggest it may only deepen U.S. military ties to Israel.

An in-depth report by NY Times columnist Nicholas Kristof accused Israeli prison guards of raping Palestinians. The Netanyahu government responded with a ferocious smear campaign, and the media is squirming uncomfortably. Will it follow the story?

Rep. Joaquin Castro’s recent letter calling on the Trump administration to acknowledge Israel’s nuclear arsenal joins a long history of members of Congress addressing the taboo topic. It is now time to take action and end the official silence.
